Hi all, Another question: If a script starts to perform an operation and the user browses away will that terminate the thread perfoming the operation eg. the operation is aborted ? Mvh Toke

the script is aborted as soon as server gets no response from the browser when it sent output to the browser. virgil http://www.jampmark.com

Hi virgil, would that also apply to a script executed from the first script : example: if (do_stuff_which_takes_a_long_time){ exec('php /path_toscript/script.phpsh'); } would script.phpsh also be aborted if the connection is broken ? Regards, Toke

when exec starts running commands, php will wait until it ends. virgil http://www.jampmark.com

Unless you ask exec to run in the background... Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Hi Ash & vigil, Thanks, I've found my solution to this problem then. adding the function to an external script, and run it through exec. Regards, Toke
